“When words change
the game.”
Real Madrid x ESPN – “Hey! That’s Not My Name”
Client: Conceptual / Self-initiated
Project: Video campaign addressing discrimination in football
This conceptual campaign recreates a La Liga match where Real Madrid players’ names are replaced with symbols and censored characters, simulating the beeps used to mask sexist, homophobic, and racist insults in sports. The confusion and discomfort caused by not seeing the player’s real names make these harmful behaviors visible and tangible. The campaign aims to create a strong visual and emotional impact, promoting respect, empathy, and fair play both on and off the field.
